State bans 190-proof grain alcohol

Everclear nights are over on West Virginia campuses. State liquor authorities are banning the sale of 190-proof grain alcohol.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) -- Everclear nights are over on West Virginia campuses. State liquor authorities are banning the sale of 190-proof grain alcohol. Officials say they're responding to concerns of college officials, law enforcement and community groups. The high-octane booze is popular among students, who pour it into party mixes. One university official says the only reason to drink anything 190-proof is to get very drunk, very fast. But students won't have to give up their Jello-shots. West Virginia liquor stores can still sell 151-proof grain alcohol.
